Bed time. Perfect or too early?

Question

Hii yall. My baby is turning 8 months tomorrow. I have been putting him down to sleep for the night usually at 7-7:30pm sometimes 8pm. Is that perfect timing or too early. If too early please comment a better time. 
He still wakes up once at night around 3-4am to eat, will go back to sleep and is up by 6-7am.

Answer

So I read a book called "The Happy Sleeper" and learned there's evidence that an earlier bedtime could mean a longer sleep period, even though that seems backward.  
When my daughter turned six months, her bedtime was 1800, and now that she's 14 months it's still 1800.  That's what works for us.

Answer

Our 8 month old is usually down by 8-8:30. Wakes up at 7 usually. This works perfectly for us.

Answer

If that works for your family, then it's the right time. My son's bedtime has been and 8pm since he was 4 or 5mo, but that was when he naturally went down for the night. He also usually wakes up a little later in the morning. I never followed any published guidelines, just his cues for when he was tired.

Answer

We’ve always done 7:00 (start, to sleep about 7:30) for my 2yo. I’d only say, maybe try to be kore consistent. Kids thrive on a schedule 👍

Answer

My daughter is almost 2 and I am just now pushing her bedtime to 8:00. I think 7/7:30 is just right.

Answer

I usually put my 10 month old son to bed around 8, which is 3-4 hours after he wakes up from his second nap. He usually sleeps all night-until 6:30-7:30 AM, and occasionally wakes up overnight. I think it’s a good time for bedtime.

Answer

When my daughter was a baby she would show signs of being tired at 6:30, I’d start bedtime routine then, and she’d be asleep by 7. She wakes at 7:30 am. Like clockwork. Even now she’s 6 and rarely makes it past 8pm. I think she stayed up until 10 pm twice on New Years Eves, and even then she was awake by 7:30am.

Answer

My 2 year old kind of laid out her own schedule. As a newborn she was always asleep for the night at 7-730 and then up by 5 or 6. We still do that. Bedtime is about 7 and she sleeps until 6 or 7 the next morning

Answer

My 20month old goes to sleep between 8-9pm and I used to keep a sleep journal for him with his naps and bed times and 7-7:30 was about when he would go to sleep at that age.

Answer

My 1 and 3 year old both go to bed between 7-8
